“The ledges are full of bird shite and are just minging,” says Johnston.
Haha, what a quote to get in the papers.
I've had salted egg yolk crisps and they are indeed really good. I want to try oyster and vinegar - I love vegetables in oyster sauce.
Pairing is an idea that's kinda obvious in hindsight but I'd never heard of it before.
I thought Rosie's solution to the fish dots was genius, although the pen was obviously superior. Andy definitely got Greg with the fisherman line, you can see his look of fascination until he realises it was just a joke. In fact, Andy's studio lines were stupendous all episode and I was happy to see him win.
I liked "You dotted the rim" as a possible episode title - do they ever use lines from Greg or Alex or is it always contestants' lines?
Alex's joy and glee when it turned out that Jack's only attempt netted the worse possible fish was beautiful to see.
Mr Poo was more disgusting than I was expecting. The voice combined with the Nutella (I assume) was too visceral.
It was weird how the studio guest would nod as he said no.
I think there's a lot of people who would be happy with a Chromebook in computer form, and those are also the market for Linux.
Sounds great. I tried bourbon in an amaretto sour (a godfather sour?) last night, although the recipe I used still asked for a decent amount of syrup so I think it brought it back to a usual sweetness.
sweet stop
I think you mean sweet spot. Now I'm wondering if it's a typo or an eggcorn.
This was a great episode.
I loved the unnecessary snooker costume, and the unnoticed joke about getting into the right frame of mind.
I had to listen again to hear "your mum's just like..." as "your mum's a slag", but now I can switch, like those pictures that you can see both ways.
I couldn't get enough of the robot's giggles. And Jack's glee when the robot pointed at its bum when asked to find the plug.
In the smelly task I was thinking that being sealed up might stop some of the things from reaching maximum stink as the organisms would run out of oxygen. Jack was smart to use the concentrated liquid and not go for a foul smell (although Greg still described it as unpleasant). Andy's looked gross and I loved him trying to play it cool while contestants metres away were backing away from the smell. What is a goblin fart?
Why is a judge allowed to compete?
That was pretty unreal to watch. So little drama, it was like it was a render.
It shows the top line, so you just read top to bottom (and can scroll if you want).
You can set it to show what you want; if I'm doing TDD I'll set it to show the test output, and then it'll show the warnings beneath it.
You can switch between the views with a key (T for tests (or N for nextest), C for clippy, etc
But yes, it's pretty similar to using watch.

Thank you to linguist Gretchen McCulloch for teaching me about phonetic assimilation, and for teaching me that if you stand around in public reading texts from a linguist and murmuring example phrases to yourself, people will eventually ask if you're okay.

While curious about the Centauri accent, I found this 2001 interview with Peter Jurasik (Londo Mollari) and Wortham Krimmer (Cartagia).
http://www.earth62.net/transcripts/jurasik22feb01.htm
The quick story about the accent, if I can tell you how I patchworked it together, is I was doing a play downtown, a Tennessee Williams play, and I worked really hard on a Memphis accent. I felt like I had really nailed it. But one L.A. critic nailed me and said, "That’s a terrible Memphis accent. That doesn’t sound like a Southern accent." I was really hurt. About that time was when "The Gathering," the pilot, showed up. I called Joe and said, "What do you want me to sound like?" He said, "Let him sound like whatever you want," so I purposely took a couple of different things. There’s a character who plays the parole officer in A Clockwork Orange, the guy who’s always saying, "And night-time is the best time, um, yes?" I took my Czechoslovakian grandmother. I had spent three consecutive summers in Ireland. I didn’t always take sounds; I took rhythms. Londo had a kind of musical thing.
The whole thing's worth a read, they seemed to be having fun.

Abandoned industrial building 2/8
Brand new #Taskmaster starts 28th March on Channel 4 and 29th March outside the UK on YouTube.
From this teaser (Youtube short): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Acq7mRa9ZYk
Contestants: Joanne McNally, John Robins, Nick Mohammed, Sophie Willan, and Steve Pemberton.
I'm hoping they have musical tasks to allow Nick Mohammed to shine. I still can't hear the Jurassic Park theme without singing along with his words.
Huh?
